Having such a husband is the greatest fortune she has on this planet.
"I'm going to marry a celestial maiden. No one else has that kind of luck, so naturally they'll be green with envy," Yalin said seriously, making Kaguya roll her eyes helplessly.
Even though they already knew her background, they still liked to use the term "celestial maiden" to mock her.
But it's not bad.
......
"We should speed up the modernization of the empire, so that we can enjoy hot springs while watching movies and eating snacks. That would be so relaxing."
As he emerged from the hot spring, Yalin thought lazily. He didn't mind indulging in a little life.
Unfortunately, the task is arduous and the road ahead is long; it cannot be accomplished overnight.
Kaguya's face flushed crimson as she recalled the lewd scene in the hot spring. She remained silent, simply flicking her slender hands and gently swaying her legs.
Even she sometimes felt that Yalin was too enthusiastic about this kind of thing. If it weren't for the wedding, Kaguya would probably have been completely taken advantage of long ago.

As was customary for Yalin, he placed Flying Thunder God symbols throughout Loulan so that he could come over at any time in the future.
Research on dragon veins is still in its early stages. It's hard to feel at ease until we fully understand the principles behind this time-traveling phenomenon.
He also placed Baizu here, where he secretly improved his strength under the alias An Lushan, waiting for the right opportunity to return to his original world.
Yalin bestowed upon him a portion of Yin-Yang Escape power, giving this big boss a significant boost.
Under the effect of the contract, the other party became his most loyal servant, barely qualifying as a pawn.
Kaguya calmly observed the changes in Loulan. After submitting to the Empire, the area around Jiuliu Temple No. 6 was swept by the winds of the times and began to transform towards modernity.
Of course, this process is quite lengthy, taking decades or even centuries to fully reveal the brilliance of civilization.
After all, Loulan was located quite far from the ancestral capital, the center of the empire, and was extremely lacking in both education and resources.
Not only Loulan, but the rest of the planet is also developing rapidly. However, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight to leap from the Warring States period to the modern era.
However, with the increasing availability of chakra, the progress can be accelerated significantly.
Ninjas can do many things that ordinary people cannot, and even when it comes to simply moving bricks, their efficiency can be greatly improved.
Moreover, chakra is equivalent to extra energy, and it is a continuously regenerable source that can be replenished simply by combining mental and physical energy.
Even though there are limitations in talent, and not everyone can master it, Yalin still chose to spread it to the world.
As long as chakra exists within the body, it doesn't matter if this generation cannot effectively use it; this power will be passed down through bloodlines, giving future generations an additional treasure to unlock.
This has undoubtedly changed the world.
As for the prestige brought about by the spread of the word, Yalin instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to claim that it was a gift from the Heavenly Maiden and the Emperor.
This brought Kaguya immense prestige, making the wedding proceed more smoothly.
Now that they've decided to get married, it's natural to let the people of the empire know who the emperor and empress are; otherwise, how can they receive their blessings?
The fact that she was a celestial maiden and the progenitor of chakra was enough to convince most of the doubtful and confused people.
As the emperor who ended the Warring States period, Yalin was almost completely deified among the people, and some regions even erected statues of him and regarded him as a believer.
In this situation, these people naturally hoped that his wife would also be a deity-like being.
An ordinary woman could not bear such glory and would certainly be criticized.
Even though Kaguya doesn't care about this, Yalin still wants to boost her reputation.
"Let's go. Aino has prepared everything, just waiting for us to return." After dealing with the Loulan issue, Yalin took Kaguya's hand and said.
This assistant is so easy to take care of. If it weren't for her, Yalin wouldn't have been able to go on a trip with Kaguya so easily.
This is especially true after Aino also learned Shadow Clone Technique.
In any case, routine government affairs can be handled by her; only matters involving the strategic development of the empire require Yalin's personal review.
“Aino, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her.” Kaguya nodded slightly, a faint smile on her face.
Besides Yalin, the person she was most familiar with was Aino.
The maid treated her very well and was a good friend.
Regarding the topic of emotions, the other party had previously offered Kaguya a lot of advice.
Calling them matchmakers is not an exaggeration at all.
.玥漪陾衣 (3m)呜VI删.....
When Kaguya and Arlin returned to the City of Ancestors, the city was already enveloped in a festive atmosphere, and everyone's face was filled with expectant smiles.
Everyone knew that His Majesty the Supreme King Yalin was about to get married, and his bride was a legendary celestial maiden, not an ordinary woman.
Well, although they don't know the specific origins, the title "Celestial Maiden" is quite common in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter and other stories.
To the people of the capital, it is quite normal for His Majesty to be paired with the Heavenly Maiden.
While the celestial maiden's status is certainly noble, His Majesty, as the ruler of the world, is even more supreme, and even the gods must submit to him.
To be honest, many people even felt that the celestial maiden was marrying above her station, and that her status was barely acceptable.
Throughout the entire empire, Zuzhidu was the earliest and closest region to Yalin, and it was also the imperial capital. Therefore, the veneration and faith in Yalin was the most fervent.
The two strolled along the street and noticed that the area near the palace was already brightly decorated. Countless people were working with high spirits, their faces full of smiles.
Yalin was never stingy with wages; he always paid generously. Anyone who dared to cause trouble during the wedding would be chopped up.
With both material and spiritual incentives, these people were naturally highly motivated. Even the theater actors began to perform love stories between celestial maidens and emperors during this period.
Yalin did not impose many restrictions on this matter.
"You seem to be getting more and more loved." Kaguya looked at the more bustling Ancestor City than ever before, smiling broadly.
Kaguya was not surprised by this; Ayrin had such charm and ability that even she was moved by him.
“Now that we have this power, we have an obligation to lead them forward.” Yalin places great importance on responsibility, which is one of his core beliefs.
“Besides, Kaguya, you like people with smiles on their faces, don’t you?” Yalin said to Kaguya with a smile. “A gloomy atmosphere is contagious, and neither you nor I like that kind of environment.”
Kaguya nodded slightly. Even when she was alone, she was not the type to take pleasure in the suffering of others.
As she spent time with Yalin, she gradually developed human emotions.
The two strolled through the streets, admiring the changes in the ancestral capital.
They would occasionally buy desserts and feed each other, as sweet as an ordinary couple.
When they arrived at the Imperial Palace, Aino had been waiting at the entrance for quite some time. Looking at Ayrin and Kaguya returning leisurely, she felt incredibly conflicted, and even had the urge to burst into tears.
Finally back! Aino has been working 697 all year, she's really exhausted.
The countless documents and all sorts of government affairs were almost giving her PTSD.
This assistant job is inhuman.
After the wedding, she will definitely take a long vacation to treat herself.
"Your Majesty Arin and Lady Kaguya, welcome back." Even though tears were streaming down her face, Aino maintained her composure and bowed.
"The wedding preparations are proceeding smoothly in all aspects. Please take a look at the specific schedule."
She handed a plan to Yalin and Kaguya.
Yalin glanced at it briefly and nodded slightly.
Everything is progressing smoothly, and any minor flaws can be corrected at any time.
"Well done, it was worth the important task I entrusted to you," Yalin praised, acknowledging that training such a qualified secretary was a wise choice.
"Haha... Thank you for your compliment," Aino said, her tone contradicting her true feelings.
Then his gaze quietly fell upon Yalin, as if he had a thousand words to say, which Yalin immediately understood.
Considering how hard the other person has worked, let's give Aino a break once things settle down.
Yalin was not a devil, and he had already noticed the maid's barely concealed weariness and resentment.
.......
Next, Kaguya and her friend Aino had a heart-to-heart talk, while Ayrin went to meet with the important officials of the court, and then dealt with some political affairs concerning future development, as well as promoting outstanding talents.
He has accumulated quite a few documents that require his personal approval during this period, so he will be busy for a while.
As for talented individuals, quite a few outstanding names caught his eye, including Yamanaka Satoshi.
This former second son of the daimyo of the neighboring country has now become a member of the imperial bureaucracy.
In addition, the other two families of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan also moved to the capital, as did the Hozuki clan from the island nation. These families were all pragmatic and knew how to survive when the times were right.
After transmitting chakra, it gave Yalin a pleasant surprise.
During this period, the empire's development can be considered to have been smooth sailing.
Currently, railway tracks have been laid from the capital to all directions, and steam trains have become widespread, greatly reducing travel time.
The majority of villagers have moved to well-located towns, which provide them with corresponding jobs.
Infrastructure such as water supply equipment and heating pipes were also installed in other major cities. Engineering teams with relevant skills were also dispersed to other areas to train apprentices locally and then expand the program to small and medium-sized cities.
As such, it's time for the Zuzhidu Industrial Zone to expand further. The current production lines are far from sufficient to meet the development needs of the entire empire across various sectors.
However, environmental pollution also needs attention. If the capital city becomes a smog capital, it will be quite troublesome to clean it up later.
Hmm, perhaps we could create an alternate dimension to solve the pollution problem?
Kaguya's Amanominaka is extremely professional in this regard, but the cost-effectiveness should be taken into account.
In addition, the manufacture of airplanes can also be put on the agenda, because even in the ninja world of later generations, there are very few ninjas who can freely travel in the air.
Yalin continued to plan for the future of the empire, setting the major aspects in place.
The goal is to develop a satellite within a few decades and to fully modernize the empire within a century.
As dusk approached, Yalin left his office and went to the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky and lost in thought.
"I'm still not used to not having the moon," Yalin said, rubbing his chin.
Why don't he get one too?
